Lightweight division win streaks tracked over three years show shifting landscape

A comparison of the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division over the past three years reveals significant changes in the competitive landscape. Currently, the top streaks include Islam Makhachev with the longest run. One year ago, the list was led by Makhachev at 14 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett at six and three fighters tied at five wins each (Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam). Two years prior, Makhachev led with 12 victories, with Renato Moicano and Pimblett at five each, and Arman Tsarukyan among several at four. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira topped the list with 10 wins, followed by Makhachev at nine and Beneil Dariush at seven. The tracking illustrates the volatile nature of lightweight rankings and the difficulty of sustaining long winning streaks in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
